    And his welsh brother is meant to be the better one! . Wiki careers are not always the best indicator as it doesn't highlight the level they were at - as the Swan fan points out good at L1 and Championship level - but not featuring at Premiership . Considering we are L1 then he sounds like a good addition . Hope he and Ward do come off and that will leave us sorted at the back . Devera and Thompson RB Macca Ward Flint and Troy CB Jay and Bessone LB . Just a striker needed then - Bodtock or the lad from QPR??
    Louis looks likes a class act from the few breif cameos I've seen, he could be a real player. Bessone didn't play in league one for Swans. Sounds like he was great for them in the Championship. Also wiki says he made his premiership debut against WBA and they won 3-0.

    Agreed re: Ward and Bessone, both would be very good additions I'm sure. As you say, just a striker needed now, then we'll really be in business!!"

SWINDON TOWN: Bessone set for Swindon move?

5:00am Thursday 30th August 2012 in Sport Exclusive By Sam Morshead

PAOLO Di Canio appears to have narrowed his search for new recruits before Friday’s transfer deadline, as Federico Bessone arrived at the County Ground yesterday to meet with the Swindon manager.

The Swansea defender was pictured by the Advertiser entering the stadium, alongside his agent, on Wednesday.

Bessone, a 28-year-old Argentinian who has played 42 times for the Swans over two separate spells in south Wales, is primarily a left-back and would potentially fill the space left by the recent departure of Alessandro Cibocchi.

The summer transfer window slams shut on Friday night, and Di Canio has already stated his intention to bring in two or three new players before that time - with a defender and a striker top of that list.

Bessone, who has also played for Leeds and Charlton in his four-year English career, has not featured for Swansea since their 2-1 defeat to Bolton in the fourth round of the FA Cup in January.

However, he did make 13 appearances for Charlton last term, helping them to the League One title.

Meanwhile, the Advertiser understands negotiations regarding a potential move for Millwall defender Darren Ward remain ongoing.

Lions boss Kenny Jackett has given Ward his blessing to discuss a switch to Wiltshire but insisted the centre-back could still be involved at the New Den if a deal is not completed.
